As for the Regeneration Pills, they currently stood as the most formidable life-preserving pill in Charlie’s possession. Their healing prowess surpassed even that of the Rejuvenating Pills, presenting a dominance that could potentially safeguard his life in critical moments. Should his opponent truly be an extraordinary master, the Regeneration Pills had the potential to be a lifeline.Charlie believed that with these pills at his disposal, he held the confidence to contend with the great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society. Moreover, given the meticulousness of his preparations, it seemed highly improbable for him to encounter any dangers as calculated by Vera.In addition to these precautions, Charlie securely placed the ring given by Vera and the Phoenixica given by Madam Fumiko in the safe.Having completed all the necessary arrangements, Charlie received a text message from Isaac that Mr. Chardon had left Holiday Inn, hailed a taxi at the entrance, and was heading out of t
Charlie’s words left Albert utterly horrified. He anxiously inquired, “Master Wade, what do you mean by this? Will you be facing great danger today?”Charlie remained silent for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Great danger? He felt that he would probably not be in any real danger. The great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society possessed three crudely crafted magic instruments Charlie had made, and the great earl treated them as treasures. This indicated a lack of profound mastery in Reiki on the great earl’s part. Moreover, Charlie possessed two offensive-type magic instruments along with multiple pills, providing him with both offensive and defensive capabilities. Additionally, he was in hiding, whereas the opponent was out in the open. This meant that Charlie could gain the upper hand if a confrontation occurred. Therefore, Charlie believed that in any aspect, he had a better chance of success than the opponent. If it came to a fight, Charlie was confident he could overp
Charlie then took out his cell phone and called Merlin. Meanwhile, Merlin was having a meal with the Ackers several kilometers away at Willow Manor.The Ackers had been conducting investigations in Aurous Hill for the past few days but had not found any clues related to Charlie. Charlie’s uncle, Christian, was about to consider asking Merlin for suggestions at the dining table when Merlin’s cell phone rang. Merlin stood up hastily and said to the Ackers, “Please continue chatting first. I'll step outside to take a call.”He then walked to the courtyard and ensured that there were no onlookers before he answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Wade,” he said in a respectful tone.Charlie went straight to the point, “Chief Lammy, is my grandfather and his family at Willow Manor right now?”“Yes, they are.” Merlin curiously asked, “What's the matter, Mr. Wade? Is there something wrong?”Charlie affirmed with a serious tone, “Someone might pose a threat to my grandparents and the rest of his
At 9:00 p.m. at night at Willow Manor.The Ackers had just finished dinner and were asking Merlin to analyze the clues they had gathered over the past few days in the living room.Keith, the head of the Ackers, had been staying in the villa during this period of time and had had significant improvement in his health. Not only did his memory stop deteriorating, but he also gradually recovered the memories that he had forgotten. More importantly, after recovering, his overall logical thinking had improved greatly, restoring his commanding style and momentum from the past.During this family meeting, Christian briefed everyone on the progress of his collaboration with Moore Group first. Christian said, “Our collaboration with Moore Group has officially entered the negotiation process. Starting today, the legal teams of both sides are negotiating the details of the cooperation, mainly to finalize the specific terms. Due to the sincere approach of the Ackers, the negotiation atmosph
Lady Acker said, “Go ahead and speak up, Lulu.”Lulu said, “I investigated the situation at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute today. I wanted to see if there was any information related to Charlie among the orphans they rescued over the years. Currently, the institute's records show no clues related to Charlie, but what's strange is that Aurous Hill Welfare Institute underwent a major personnel change last year. From the institute's director to the staff below and even the chef who cooked for the orphans, all of them underwent a complete turnover. None of the old employees were retained at all. I find this matter quite unusual. It's not uncommon for personnel changes in welfare organizations, but a complete and sudden change seems a bit strange. What do you think?”Keith frowned and said, “There must be ten to twenty people in the management and execution side of a welfare home. Even if the management changes, the operational staff below them shouldn't be replaced entirely, right? After
“That’s simple!” Lulu said excitedly, “We can check the social security files of the previous team! The welfare institute is a social welfare organization funded by both the government and private donations. As a unit that requires public supervision, their personnel records must be very complete, especially if they are really on a major mission, as Merlin suggested. They would need to appear compliant and flawless, otherwise, if someone notices abnormalities in their personnel records, it could immediately raise suspicions!”Merlin praised, “Lulu’s thinking is very clear. We will probably be able to get some clues by finding a way to check the previous personnel records of the staff at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute!”Kaeden exclaimed, “I'll get someone to check it right away!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.Keith had retired for many years, and over time, his connections had diminished. There were not many connections that he could use a
Ashley and Curtis’s only son, Charlie, had gone missing twenty years ago as well.Everyone felt as if they had been blindly searching for twenty years worldwide, and this time, it felt as if they had finally grasped something.Christian blurted out impatiently, “Tell us about the entry times of these sixteen people in detail!”Azure hastily responded, “Among these sixteen people, fourteen joined at the end of winter in February twenty years ago, and their previous dean, Killian Caito, joined in the fall in November twenty years ago. Aside from these fifteen people, the latest entry was a female worker who joined in winter in December twenty years ago. It will be twenty years in another three months.”Lady Acker suddenly had an extremely horrified expression. She burst into tears and sobbed as she said, “Ashley and Curtis left Eastcliff and came to Aurous Hill in March twenty years ago. They met with their accident at the end of October, and Charlie disappeared at the end of October
At this moment, the yard surrounding the villa had turned into a hellish battlefield!Mr. Chardon held a wooden sword that was less than thirty centimeters long in his hand, but the invisible blade it carried had a length of nearly two meters!This was the temporary magic instrument that the British Lord had entrusted to Mr. Chardon. Although the wooden sword looked short, small, and unremarkable, in reality, it functioned like a lightsaber from Star Wars, with an extraordinary attack range.In the logic set in the movie, a lightsaber emitted plasma from the hilt to form the blade. Mr. Chardon’s wooden sword surpassed this concept. It could transform Reiki into a blade, and he could control the blade at will!Several bodyguards attempted to surround and attack Mr. Chardon, but he casually swung the sword in the air with just one hand. An invisible energy then shot out swiftly from the sword, piercing through the chest of the frontmost bodyguard when he was still a meter away from
